This set allows the highest burst damage possible, which perfectly suits her Sword Wave kit
There is a widespread misconception to "only use this set if you're a skilled player with good dodge management and debuff timing"
In practice you just need to know how to time/manage Matrix and enter Blade Will mode
Dodge an attack to activate Matrix, use a 3-Ping Blue Signal Orb followed by another 3-Ping and an additional dodge to maximize Frederick's damage buff
Damage is very low, but this set offers quick Core Passive activation which is useful for quickly clearing a few lower level Phantom Pain Cage: Advanced Zone bosses
Not recommended to resonate unless your Crimson Abyss is at SSS+ Rank
Useable War Zone set on Global if your Crimson Abyss is very highly invested in
Lower score ceiling but higher skill floor
